Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 389

Danbo State, Sangtian County, the camp of the Ming Army.

Taichang stood with his hands behind his back on the commanding platform built against the mountain, looking at the soldiers of the Ming army who were hard at work below, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

More than a month passed, and the morale of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp finally returned.

When he first came here, even the generals of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion were wilted like eggplants beaten by Shuang. Now, the soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion started to howl again, even during the drill, It was all roaring.

Morale is available!
However, he was not busy ordering the attack.

Because the expansion of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp has not been completed yet.

Although he has changed the system of guards, and although the guards of all the capitals of the Ming Dynasty are desperately recruiting young men, it still takes a certain amount of time to gather 40 horses.

It turned out that during his nearly four months in the Xintang State Mansion, the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy brought over [-] troops from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. In the past month or so, he originally planned to bring over another [-] troops Guardian.

After all, in addition to the expansion of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion, the places that have been captured also need to be guarded.

He was going to exchange the newly recruited guards with the guards who had been transferred for a few months, let those pure guard recruits go to guard the place, and expand the guards who had been trained for several months to the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp.

In this way, he can save some training time and speed up the dispatch of troops.

Unfortunately, being disturbed by the Dutch, the Beiyang Navy was transferred to Dongpan for a trip, and the Dongyang Navy had to stay in Dongying for a few days.

Therefore, it is almost at this moment, and the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy have to make a trip each.

Of course, it doesn't matter too much, the so-called sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter, there is absolutely no need for him to save the ten days and half a month.

If you rush forward before the expansion is complete, the overall deployment will go wrong, and the speed of marching will be affected instead.

And once these ten days and a half months have passed, and the Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp are ready, they will be able to advance like a broken bamboo, triumphantly, and destroy Dongpu in one fell swoop!
At this time, Taichang was not in a hurry, but Abe Shoji in Osaka Castle was in a hurry.

Because they have been waiting in fear for more than a month, but the Ming army is still gathering troops there.

At this moment, the company battalion of the Ming army in Sangtian County has already exceeded a hundred miles. How many people are there!

To be honest, the pressure was too much.

They are so tense every day that they can't even fall asleep!
The atmosphere of Osaka Castle and Heian-kyo is becoming more dignified day by day, more dignified every day, and the dignified is a bit suffocating.

If it continues like this, many people will probably go insane.

The problem, he has no choice but to suffer like this.

It is impossible to go out of the city to attack the Ming army.

Where is the number of others, going for a sneak attack is no different from hitting an egg with a rock.

It is impossible to order people to relax their vigilance and take a good rest.

Because the camp of the Ming army is less than a hundred miles away from them, and they can rush over in a day, so if you relax your vigilance, you will be courting death.

Therefore, they could only suffer day and night, waiting for the Ming army to come.

About half a month later, the expansion of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp was finally completed.

Taichang once again recruited a group of civil servants and military generals to the commander's tent, and discussed with the map.

At this moment, because the Japanese pirates are strictly on guard, they have no way to send scouts to investigate. Therefore, they can only rely on speculation about the situation of the Japanese pirates.

The Gyeonggi Five Kingdoms are the nest of Japanese pirates, and Pingan-kyo is the capital of Japan. It is impossible for the Tokugawa shogunate to treat other ordinary vassal states without sending any reinforcements.

This point, they have already expected.

However, it doesn't matter much even if the Tokugawa shogunate sends reinforcements over.

With the current situation in Dongying, the Tokugawa shogunate can mobilize more than [-] troops if they die. The Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion are not afraid of this force at all, and it doesn't matter if they are divided into five groups.

In this situation of absolute strength crushing, the tactical arrangement is relatively simple.

Soon, Taichang negotiated a specific battle plan with a group of civil servants and generals.

An army of 75 broke into the five countries of Gyeonggi directly from the junction between Shancheng State and Setjin State.

Then, Qi Jin directly led 15 Shenji Battalion infantry to form a road, divided the troops into the Shancheng Kingdom, and attacked Ping'an Jing.

At the same time, Cao Bianjiao led 15 infantry from the Shenwu Battalion to form a road, divided his troops into Jin Kingdom, and attacked Osaka Castle.

The remaining 45 horses rushed directly into Hanoi, and then divided into three groups.

Along the way, Qin Minping led 15 infantry from the Shenji Battalion to attack Hequan State to the west.

Along the way, Ma Xianglin led 15 Shenwu Battalion infantry to attack Yamato to the east.

The last [-] Shenji Battalion infantry and Shenwu Battalion infantry were led by Sun Zushou, and directly flattened Hanoi.

The [-] cavalry from the Shenwu Battalion were supported in the Daying Camp of Sangtian County, ready to support the Five Route Army at any time.

This tactic can be said to be simple and crude, without any bells and whistles at all. Even if the Tokugawa shogunate knew everything, it would be useless, because with their small number of troops, it would be impossible to defeat each of them, and they would not be able to chew any way!
Abe Zhengji really didn't expect that if the Ming army didn't mobilize, it would be overwhelming, and it would push the five countries of Gyeonggi directly!
The fact that the Ming army did not dare to cross the Yamashiro State and the Settsu State in his original fantasy was simply a joke, and it was wishful thinking that Osaka Castle and Heiankyo supported each other.

Because the number of the Ming army is too much.

The two Ming armies directly encircled Osaka City and Ping'an-kyo. Would he dare to go out of the city to play a game of breaking people's food roads or supporting each other?

As long as he leads the army out of the city, he will die!
Of course, Taichang did not expect that the Tokugawa shogunate would gather all 20 troops to garrison Osaka Castle and Heiankyo.

As a result, both parties were taken aback.

However, Abe Masaji's tactic can only surprise Taichang, and it has no effect.

Qi Jin and Cao Bianjiao will not be able to attack Osaka City and Ping'an City for a while, but Hanoi, Iquan and Yamato countries were easily captured by Qin Minping, Ma Xianglin and Sun Zushou.

Because there are no garrisons in these three countries!
Later, Taichang ordered Ma Xianglin to guard the easternmost Yamato country first, while Qin Minping and Sun Zushou led their troops back to help Qi Jin and Cao Bianjiao to besiege Ping'an Jing and Osaka City.

To be honest, the defense of Osaka Castle is really good. The three layers of city walls are interlocking, and the capital is high and deep, and there are 10 people guarding it. Even if Cao Bianjiao and Sun Zushou have 30 people, it will be quite difficult to attack hard. .

However, Osaka Castle has one of the biggest loopholes, that is, Osaka Castle is built on the river system of the Yodo River, and the moats of the three-story city wall are all connected to the Yodo River!

The Yodo River is a fairly large river, and its main road, the Aegis Ship, has no problem driving in!

When Taichang heard the news, he naturally dispatched the fleet of the Oriental Navy, which had been waiting for orders in the Seto Inland Sea, directly into the Yodo River without hesitation, and bombarded the walls of Osaka Castle.

Abe Shoji is really an ant day elephant, and he can't do it anymore!
The Ming army relied on the advantage of artillery to blast the city wall fiercely, without using infantry to attack hard. What can he do?
As a result, within a few days, the so-called indestructible Osaka Castle was taken by the Ming army.

Abe Shoji also responded to Tokugawa Hidetada's words, if you can't keep it, you will die!
He directly cut himself off!

Next is Heian-kyo.

Although the defense of Heian-kyo is not as strong as that of Osaka Castle, there is no big river like the Yodogawa nearby.

But fortunately, there are still quite a lot of large and small rivers near Heianjing, and they are all connected to Osaka Bay. It is no problem for the Spike battleships and wheels of the Toyo Navy to drive in.

In this way, it is naturally easy to handle, just use the Spike battleship and the wheel cannon to pull the artillery over and bombard it.

It took the Ming army a lot of effort to attack Heianjing, but the outcome was the same. Under the crazy bombardment of the Ming army's artillery, Abe Shigeji couldn't resist.

He also followed in his father's footsteps, and committed suicide when he couldn't hold on.

What is unexpected is that after Qi Jin led the army to break through the Ping'an capital, he even captured the emperor of Dongying, Empress Mingzheng, in the palace of Dongying!
Looking at the little girl brought to him, Taichang really couldn't laugh or cry.

This Tokugawa Hidetada is really ruthless. He actually left his granddaughter in Heianjing and let them catch him!
